Republican U.S. House Committee Releases Thousands of Epstein Files
Reuters (09/03, McCaskill, Erickson, Queen) reported that a Republican -led U.S. House committee released over
33,000 pages of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier and convicted sex offender. The released files
include video and audio recordings from investigations, such as apparent victim interviews and a 17-minute video
EFTA00163836
of a girl describing her experience with Epstein. Most of the documents appear to be previously released, with
Democratic Representative Jim McGovern stating that "nearly everything Republicans just supposedly 'released' ...
has already been released". The article highlighted that Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie and
Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, have proposed a measure that would require the Justice
Department to release all of its unclassified Epstein records, including those held by the FBI and U.S. attorneys'
offices. NBC News (09/02, Ortiz, Jackson, Atkins) added that Jeffrey Epstein accusers are urging President Trump to
release all case files related to Epstein and rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. The accusers, including
and , are seeking justice and transparency in the case, with some lawmakers, such as Reps. Ro
Khanna and Thomas Massie, supporting their call for the full release of the Justice Department's Epstein files. The
accusers are opposed to a potential pardon for Maxwell, with some calling it a "slap in the face" to their memories
and an insult to their experiences as victims of Epstein's abuse. Fox News (09/02, Koch) reported that a newly
released congressional video fills a one-minute gap in the surveillance footage from Jeffrey Epstein's jail unit on the
night of his 2019 suicide. The missing minute, from 11:58:S9 on August 9, 2019, to midnight on August 10, 2019,
has been found and shows no lapse in footage, contradicting AG Bondi's previous explanation. "What we learned
from the Bureau of Prisons was every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute
missing," AG Bondi previously said in a meeting at the White House. The article noted that the attorney general's
office could not immediately be reached for comment. Additional reporting on the story was provided by ABC
